Schrotthorn, Mountain summit in South Tyrol, Italy
Schrotthorn is a mountain summit in the Sarentino Alps that rises to 2,590 meters elevation. The peak features steep rocky slopes and prominent limestone formations that define its appearance.
The mountain has been used since the Middle Ages by shepherds driving livestock between valleys. Those early routes shaped the path network that still exists on the slopes today.
Local mountain guides pass their knowledge of Corno del Ceppo through generations, teaching specific navigation techniques adapted to its terrain patterns.
The climb requires winter gear from November through April when snow and ice cover the terrain. The Scaleres valley serves as the main access route and offers the most direct approach for visitors.
The summit contains a geological marker that scientists use to study the continuous elevation changes of the Sarentino Alps through precise measurements.
